Compendium of Computational Theology – Introduction

Abstract This introductory essay provides an overview of the topics covered in the Compendium.Despite a long-standing tradition, research at the interface of theology and Digital Humanities has yet to gain traction. One reason for this research gap is the lack of infrastructure and foundational texts. Another reason is the various understandings of the task of Digital Theology. Thus, this article bases the field of Computational Theology firmly within the canon of the Digital Humanities. The second part of this essay provides insight into the genesis of this compendium and outlines the individual essay contributions in the first volume.

Keywords Computational Theology, Digital Humanities, Interdisciplinarity, Philosophy of Science
